C-Max Energi

AeroStealth has really enjoyed his.It's allowed him to get his carbon footprint down 80%.
He wants to go lower,so he's now considering the new Escape plug-in,RAV-4 plug-in,both with expected higher range,or used Tesla Model-3 long range.So far,no hard range numbers for either the Ford or Toyota.Maybe after the Los Angeles Auto Show.
He makes his own solar electricity.And actually,the economic difference between a higher range PHEV and the Tesla are almost a wash.And it's long-distance,3,000-miles
/year, holiday travel which makes the difference.Once he leaves home he can't control the source of electricity (carbon dioxide).
The PHEVs have essentially unlimited range on the open road.For 12,000 miles a year they'd be 'solar-powered'.He could do virtually all his daily driving on sunlight.On a daily basis,the Tesla would have no significant advantage.
Anyway,you could do a lot worse than a C-Max Energi.
